There appears to be a bug in MOSS where the Created By and Last Modified By options do not return any results in the Advanced Search page. It appears that these fields only show results when indexing SPS 2003 content! Please have a look at the link below:

It appears that when you do a search on the Author column, it takes the 'Author' document property from the Office application first - and if it's blank (or is not an office document like a PDF or SharePoint list item) - it takes the Created By property in SharePoint.

Now, obviously I would not recommend this as best practice, but I was asked if I could configure the default security option in the ISA 2006 logon form to Private Computer instead of Public (despite venting reluctance) to make it easier for users to logon and use persistent cookies to gain access to Office applications from SharePoint without being prompted to sign in again.
